BAG-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming" part of Letters Patent No. 261,458, dated July 18, 1882.

Application filed March 14 1882. (N model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JULIUS HOLEKAMP, of

Comfort, Kendall county, Stateof Texas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bag-Holders; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my bag-holder with a bag held in position to be filled, and Fig. 2 a partial view of the same with the bag cut away to show the position of the ring and supporting-hook. 1

My invention relates to improvements in bag-holders for the supporting of sacks of various sizes for the packing of wool; and it consists mainly in the combination of certain parts having a capacity for adjustment relatively to the diameter of the bag, with certain parts having a capacity for adjustment relatively to the height of the bag.

1t consists, further, in certain details of con- 1 struction, which, in connection with the foregoing, will be fully described hereinafter.

In the draWings,,A represents a base or foundation plate adapted to rest upon the ground or floor, which is provided with screws to a, by means of which a strong attachment may be made to the floor when the plate rests thereon.

outer edge of the same, which are extendedin a radial direction, as shown.

B B represent standards rising from the table, which are provided below with'tenons b 7), adapted to rest in the slots without completely filling the same, room being left for adjustment in a radial direction, as shown.

I) brepresent pins extending through proper .openings in the edge of the table and proper openings in the tenons of the standards, by means of which the standards are strongly held without interference with their freedom of movement in a radial direction. If desired,

the tenons of the standards and the inner walls of the slots may be faced with sheet metal.

I) I) represent slots in the upper ends of the standards, which are elongated in a vertical direction, as shown.

C 0 represent hooks, one in each standard, each of which is provided with a threaded shank, 0, adapted to receive the lever-nut c, as shown.

0 0 represent washer-plates by means of which the hooks are properly held and guided in the standard-slots.

1) represents a ring consisting of a flat band bent into circular form, which is provided at one end with a bolt and at the other witha series of openings adapted to takethe bolt, the purpose of this construction being to give the ringthe capacity for holding bags of different diameters.

01 represents a clasp by means of which the extreme outer end of the ring is held in close contact with. the inner end.

E represents the bag, of any proper size and suitable material.

F represents staples adapted to be inserted v in proper openings in the inner faces of the standards, for the purposes hereinafter explained.

Gr represents one of a number of needles or pins which are employed to secure the bag to the ring.

- The operation is substantially as follows: The standards B B may be adjusted radially upon the table to approximate more or less closely to the proper points for holding a bag of the size employed. The ring D is also adjusted so that its circumferential extent will be adapted to take the bag employed. The upper end of the bag, being passed through the ring and turned down over its edge, is secured in place by means of the needles, as shown. The hooks are then adjusted vertically, so that when the bag is suspended therefrom the bottom of the latter will be above the table a proper distance. The bag being suspended from the hooks, the staples F may be inserted above the upper edge of the same, for the purpose of preventing it from becoming accidentally displaced. The wool is then crowded into the bag in any proper manner until the same is filled. The filled bag may then be lowered into the table by causing the hooks to slide down in the vertical slots the proper distance. When lowered it may be released from the ring by removing the needles, and have its mouth 5 sewed up. By unpinning and taking out one oflthe standanls B it may be removed from the ta lc.

The construction described is simple and yet effective for the purpose designed.

IO Having thus described my invention, what- I claim is 1. The combination, with the vertical stand ards B, radially adjustable, as set forth, of the vertically-adjustable hooks O and adjustable 15 ring I), substantially as described.

2. In combination with the table A, the

standards B, hooks 0, ring D, and staples F, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the slotted table A, slotted standards B, provided with tenons 20 at their lower ends, and pins 1), of the books 0, provided with threaded shanks e, lever-nut c, and. adjustable ring I), substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

The above specification of my invention 25 signed by me in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JULIUS HOLEKAMP.
